Driving Lost Highway 87 offers drivers great scenery as well as a look into the past and what used to be before past storms ravaged the area. The old highway is now just remnants of concrete, asphalt, vehicles, piers, etc. The surface will vary between hard-packed sand, soft sand, and possibly mud. The beach is usually passable by 2WD vehicles but 4WD may be required when mud and washouts are present. The speed limit is 15 mph. Driving is not permitted on any of the dunes or vegetation so do not drive the beach during high tide.
